    Remember when something would break and, instead of throwing it away, you would fix it

        Prof M, you are welcome to still use electron tube televisions. The tubes that are not glowing, replace them 1st.

        I can’t tell if this is Gen X nostalgia or edgy political commentary

        This isn't a memory endemic to Gen X unless you're talking about broken Atari U-Clips to connect a 2600 to your CRT TV's antennae cable clamps. Gotta go back farther than us to predate planned obsolescence and disposability.

        Still live this way as much as we can. But I'm lucky, my hubby is very handy with fixing stuff. Sometimes we pay more for higher quality stuff, but we always buy for the long term.

        I distinctly remember fixing computers, albeit by throwing away one part and replacing it; I also remember vacuum cleaner repairs
